CIGARETTES AND ALCOHOL

Early day motion 545, tabled 16 March 2000 by Jane Griffiths (Labour). Signed by 82 members.

That this House calls for urgent action to be taken to halt the serious problem of bootlegging of alcohol and tobacco, which is putting many independent retailers out of business, with average losses of around 16 per cent. a year; notes that bootlegging has serious health and social costs which arise from minors having unregulated access to alcohol and tobacco; and calls on all members of the European Union to take urgent steps to halt this illegal and harmful trade.
